TESTING FOR PH


The pH of our plant was an average of 10. A pH of 10 means that the plant tested more basic than acidic. We got our pH through testing the liquid that was inside of the main leaf of the plant. Most plants have a pH of 5.5, so a pH of 10 is more basic than usual. The pH of a plant varies by the type of plant and the environment it lives in. Roots will take in either more acid or more basic substances depending on the food available, the temperature of roots, or intensity of light.
